She says OUR for the second word with PAYING, PATENT, and PURCHASING. She does not solve WEIGHING OUR OPTIONS...

...so it doesn't matter what she would've wanted besides the $40,000. Kira leaves with $14,800 in cash.

In the final segment, Pat doesn't mean to get too philosophical, but life is about weighing your options! You have choices to make. His wise mother said that when you come to a fork in the road, be sure to take it. Just some words to live by.

Well, that was a quiet way for me to go out. It would've been worse if the third word to the Trip Puzzle was FAR instead. Just an okay game overall.

I got the bonus puzzle with RSTLNE. She needed either the I or O for that one. Now I guess the admins will have to weigh their options for next season.

The gap between the taping and airing of this episode was just over 5 4 months (apparently, I can’t do basic math).

This is why we watch. Not only for the gut punch, but the random acts of insanity that make you cheer for total strangers, the brothers doing "YMCA," or the wife jumping into her husbands arms which led to the greatest ad lib between Pat & Vanna, etc, etc, etc).

There's a reason this show has been on so long.

I'll never quit watching. Hopefully, you won't either.

This last college episode of the season was… OK. The giddy Kira and the enthusiastic David had quite the match, and I’m happy Catie got on the board with a couple of Triple Toss-Ups. I was hoping Kira would go with GHPO… but nope.

Predictably, I no-lettered the last Toss-Up, but I also Round 1 (surprisingly). (I even solved Round 4 with just the S).

My rating: 5

A rerun of this episode is airing on Saturday, March 2.

Nine days later on Monday, March 11, David will be reappearing, once again as the blue contestant, on episode #S-7946. He has not yet stated (and might not be allowed to) why he was brought back.

According to a friend of David's who was in the audience, the trip he was supposed to have won was a ~$9,400 trip to Antigua, and Pat and Jim announced it as such, but the scoreboards accidentally had the value of the next episode's trip of $7,350. His friend noticed the math seemed off, but the show didn't notice until about a month after the taping. To "correct" the mistake, they edit Pat's throw to the trip (linked below) by cutting away just before he said "the island of Antigua" and adding ADR of Pat saying "Mexico". For ADR dubbing, the edit was very well done and I would have never noticed it otherwise, although Pat following it up by saying Mexico is a "town" gives it away a bit. Jim also re-recorded the Mexico trip copy from 6/7 (minus the FlightGuru.com plug) and it was added in post to replace the Antigua copy. When the show reached out to David to explain the mistake, they let him choose between taking the Antigua or Mexico trip; he chose the latter.
